Calibration System for Dial Gauges

Abstract

The calibration of dial gauges is a time consuming, cumbersome and monotone process. Due to monotonity the probability of human errors is large both in capturing the measuring data and in it's evaluation. In order to maintain competitiveness automation became compulsory. The present paper describes the design and implementation of an automatic calibration system applying advanced computer technologies and a high precision positioning system based on novel piezomotors providing submicron accuracy.
